Shower curtains for function and bathroom style
A shower curtain helps contain splashes while also taking up a noticeable visual area in the bathroom. That makes both practical fit and appearance important. Consider the dimensions of your shower area and curtain rail first, then choose a colour and design that work with the rest of the room.
Choosing the right shower curtain size
Check both the width and height you need before choosing a shower curtain. The curtain should be wide enough to cover the shower opening comfortably rather than hanging completely taut. For the height, measure from the curtain rail towards the floor or shower tray and allow suitable clearance at the bottom. This helps you assess whether a standard or longer shower curtain is the better fit for your bathroom.
Shower curtain colours for different bathrooms
Colour can significantly change the overall expression of a bathroom. White, beige, natural and grey shower curtains create a restrained look that is easy to coordinate, while black can provide stronger contrast. Blue, green, brown, yellow and purple offer further possibilities when you want the shower curtain to contribute more colour to the room.
Think about how your chosen curtain works alongside tiles, walls and textiles rather than viewing it in isolation. Coordinating or contrasting it with towels and bath mats can help create a more considered bathroom interior.
Details to consider before choosing a shower curtain
As well as size and colour, consider how the curtain will hang in your particular shower area. Check that its attachment points are compatible with your existing curtain rail and hooks, and make sure the dimensions suit the space. Care instructions can vary between individual shower curtains, so follow the information provided for the specific product when cleaning and maintaining it.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a 180 x 200 cm and a 180 x 220 cm shower curtain?
Both sizes have the same 180 cm width, but the 180 x 220 cm shower curtain is 20 cm longer. Choose between them by measuring from your curtain rail towards the shower tray or floor and allowing suitable clearance at the bottom.
Should a shower curtain be wider than the shower opening?
Yes. A shower curtain should be wide enough to cover the opening comfortably without hanging completely taut. Measure the shower opening and curtain rail before choosing the width.
How do I check whether a shower curtain will fit my existing rail and hooks?
Check the curtain's dimensions and attachment points against your existing curtain rail and hooks. The width and drop need to suit your shower area, while the attachment points need to be compatible with the hooks you intend to use.
